It’s been a while since I made a genuine “mixed tape” for Cheryl. I frequently make CD’s for her to listen to in her car, but it’s mostly with the latest Christian music. I’m thinking she needs another true “mixed tape”. You know…the mushy kind…with all the romantic love songs.
What songs should I include?
Honestly, I’m asking more because we both like songs about love, commitment, marriage…Whether country, Christian, slow rock or jazz…there are some times we just love the romantic tunes…(Please don’t tell the guys I work with!)
So, seriously, whether I make a mixed tape or not, what is your favorite love song?
If YOU were making a mixed tape, (have you ever made one?) what songs would be on it?
Do you and your special one have a “song”? What is it?
Logging you in...

This song is AMAZING! Marc Broussard – The Beauty of Who You Are http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8EWhiiMgBc
Thanks!
Ron, MY Cheryl likes For You, by John Denver, and True Companion by Mac Cohn. Both are outstanding songs, and powerful testaments of enduring love.
Not a huge country fan….but you HAVE to include this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R2F9f2Cl6Y

Awesome play list. I'll check all of these out. And my wife (Cheryl) and I need to hang out with you guys some time. We can learn some things.
Okay this is weird. On my iTunes playlists I do have one for my wife. Her name is Louise. So it's "Louise". Hang on I'll go check it and give you my favorite off that playlist.
I've got to give you two sorry!
"More Today Than Yesterday" by The Spiral Starecase
"Those Eyes" by Bob Baldwin. In fact I listen to this song almost every day!
Hope this helps.
Blessings,
Dave
That's okay…not weird! Thanks
Everything-Buble; What a Wonderful World- Armstrong or Stewart; You Are So Beautiful-Cocker; Dig- Incubus; In My Life- Beatles; I Will Be Here- Chapman; Shes Got A Way- Joel. That’s a start.
I love Buble!
Check out the new Matthew West song he wrote for the Klove Valentine's Day contest. Made my husband and I both tear up!
Great. Don't know that one
I Swear by John MIchael Montgomery and Surround Me With Love by Charley McClain
I love "I Swear"….don't know the other. Thanks
I am parcial to Three Times a Lady by Lionel Richie. Make me cry every time. Shhhh.
And, I remember when it was an new song….Love it
I want to hold you hand by the Beatles. Can’t be a mushy mix without it. (I know, we shouldn’t be legalistic, but…)
Good…..Love it.
Well, if you are going to make a "tape" full of silly long songs…. only fitting it should include Paul McCartney's (Wings) "Silly Love Songs"
Never heard of it, but like it
Old school… My Love by Lionel Richie and You Decorated My Life by Kenny Rogers
I love both of those
Oh, and, "The Way You Look Tonight" by Tony Bennett" That's a good one too!
Yes!
How about Byran Adams' "Everything I do" I love that song!
Thanks..that song used to play in my apartment in college.
Any version of When a Man Loves a Woman. Cyndi Lauper's At Last is good,as is that entire album. And any version of Someone to Watch Over Me.
Thanks….good suggestions
Stardust by Hoagy Carmichael and I’ll be Seeing You, written by Sammy Fain are must haves!
Awesome. Don't know them by title..
